Libra New Moon – September 23Your Soverign Self Your soul is weighed against the feather of Maatby Maya White This is your week to experience the Cosmic in-breath of the Autumnal Equinox joined with the Libra New Moon. Libra is a sign of balance and even justice, but in the language of the stars, Libra is your time to make decisions, not take shelter in endless options. I’ts a unique time in many ways. Monday, the Sun entered Libra, and Tuesday is the New Moon. In ancient Egypt, it was the Autumnal Equinox of September that began the New Year. And, the Egyptians honored the equinox of Libra as a sign that celebrates the birth of a Divine Child.You are a Miracle Worker You have most likely seen images of Egyptian deities with the crescent moon on his or her head – this imagery goes back to the idea of a divine messenger of wisdom and healing, and ultimately, love and caring for humanity. Today, in the auspices of the Age of Aquarius, YOU are the healer and the wise one. You are the Divine Child dispensing your own unique gift to help others. The glyph, or symbol representing Libra is a set of scales, and these, too had deep significance for the Egyptians. At the time of death, the goddess Maat placed the human soul on one scale, and a feather on the other. If the scale tipped even slightly, the soul must reincarnate and learn how to live without the burdens such as hatred, worry and resentment, the emotions that weigh down our souls.Name Your Shadow There is a problem, and a teaching, however in the expressing the balance of Libra. The shadow side of Libra is a place where you become frozen in fear through endless questioning and doubt. The shadow side of Libra is keeping your options open. Why take only a piece of the pie when you might have it all? Ah, this is another measure against the feather of Maat – indecision, which leaves your soul feeling incomplete and begging for another chance to reincarnate and get it right. Libra is actually your time to dig into Saturn and make some decisions.Delight in your Sovereign Self – Jupiter trine UranusSeptember 25th As always, the Universe is serving up a smorgasbord of opportunity. Thursday we have a relatively rare and important planetary aspect of Jupiter trine Uranus. Remember, the trine is an open door, and when Jupiter and Uranus dance in this way, think of your personal Sovereignty; claim your independence, exert self-control, and take ownership of your life. These two planets vibrate together to seed opportunity. One of the caveats of this transit is that you needn’t dwell too long on analyzing the situation – when the invitation arrives, step on board and fly. What does that look like for you? For some, it will be surrendering to a relationship, for others, it will be leaving one that has run its course. Is it time to leave that job? Maybe, it’s time to begin a new one that will bring you peace of mind. Take stock of your journey, and hold true to what will release the most power. Jupiter and Uranus are smiling this week in an aspect that conveys spiritual blessings. Move ahead with tolerance and optimism; apply your best judgment to situations that come up for resolution – and celebrate the gifts that are revealed. Astrology gives insight on your health, wealth, and even timing. Have an amazing week, and a fantastically rich and rewarding life.

Pisces Full Moon * Kuan Yin Moon September 8,2014by Maya WhiteToday, or, actually, this evening, we welcome the Full Moon in Pisces. The Full moon arrives every 28 days, and each in is in a different sign. The September 8th Full moon is exact at 6:38 PT/ 9:38 ET at 16 degrees of Pisces. Always –the Full moon is in the sign opposite the Sun. You can observe this by looking at the sun setting in the west – and at full moon, you will see the moon rising in the east at exactly the same time. I find this fascinating, and if you can learn this one simple concept – you are on your way to becoming an astrology wiz. Because the Sun is in Virgo now, using the information presented above, you know that this full moon is in Pisces, the sign of Universal compassion and surrender. Think of this time as being sanctioned by Kuan Yin, the Buddhist goddess of mercy. The origin of her name is translated as a being who ‘hears the cries of the world’. One of the several stories surrounding Kuan Yin is that as a human, through great love and sacrifice during life, she had earned the right to enter Nirvana after death. However, while standing before the gates of Paradise she heard a cry of anguish from the earth below. Turning back, she renounced her reward of bliss eternal but in its place found immortality in the hearts of the suffering. Similar to my Oracle card for the Part of Fortune, Kuan Yin was born of a lotus flower, and she is one of the many multi-armed goddesses. Each of her arms and hands has a purpose. These mythological stories teach universal messages, regardless of whether they stem from Buddhism, or western astrology. Perhaps Kuan Yin will join you in your Full Moon meditations.Define; Surrender; Release The Virgo/Pisces axis is one of the most spiritual orientations of the zodiac. Symbolically, through Pisces, the sign of Great Water, you must set sail into the ocean – a place that is unknowable and unpredictable. For a human being, this means that there is a quality of surrendering to the phrase ‘Thy will be done’. Spirituality, compassion, and retreat are all in the realm of Pisces. This lunation is also called the Harvest moon – and that is what you must do ; collect all that is good in your life, and release what is no longer of value. The Pisces/Virgo axis is also the most sensitive. It’s time to evaluate your health and also your overall energy. Pisces is also a sign of emanation – make your energy reveal your glow, your vitality, and your state of mind. At this full moon – get in touch with your innermost energy and motivations.What’s Going On? Other keywords for this Full Moon are: Protection; Compassion; Mercy; Sharing; Unity; ConsciousnessThis is a time for: Ending of destructive patterns that have been in motion Recognizing and honoring the gifts of your ancestors Releasing generational negativity Commitment to your sacred contracts – for example – to love yourself unconditionally Asking: What is your Divine Mission? What is the next step? You have an opportunity now to refine your energy in preparation for the Solar and lunar eclipses that occur next month. But, here is the secret of Pisces – it’s also a time when the seeds of your new reality is germinating. Think of Pisces as a fertile garden that holds the possibilities life of your new beginnings. To be in flow with Universal wisdom today – take some time to reflect on what paths have fulfilled their course in your life. And then, do the inner work of letting go and, utilizing the essence of Virgo – refine your future. There are other dynamic astrological signals this week that support you.
